Sileni / Hi-Lar
A. Black Rocket
B. Back On Trip (LXC Rmx)
Format- 12” Vinyl

Offshore is back for 2008! The first Sileni track on Offshore since “Twitchy Droid Leg” (granted it came out on 4 different instances due to all of the remixes). “Black Rocket” is a banger in the vein of the dirty 98 Bristol-sound that was cherished by folks like Decoder and Tech Itch. A reverberating wood block snare, a big fat distorted bassline and dizzying white noise to fill up any frequency space that was left make this track a tough pill to swallow. Let’s not forget Sileni’s signature edits that riddle “Black Rocket”, words really don’t do it justice.

Flip it over for some German minimal funk from Alphacut’s front man, LXC. Originally released on the Plain Audio digital imprint, “Back On Trip” gets reworked into a bouncy, quirky little number that offers a completely different take on the current state of Drum & Bass. The remix is steppy, but at the same time it hits hard and holds the listeners interest with edits and an array of sounds all meticulously engineered. LXC not only runs Alphacut and produces, but he is also a cutting engineer, so you know it sounds good.
